First custom

[Petrichor]

So my wife tells me today she is buying me a bow for my b day. One hour later I found out I won the mango vaneers on the z giveaway. 1+1=heck yes! Thanks to Idaho curt as he is sending the vaneers directly to Mike from Maddog. Gonna be one sweet bow. The wait begins.

It should be a beauty with the mango in it!!

Congrats on your first custom!

Congrats, have you decided on a riser wood yet?

[Tradcat]

Cocobolo would be a great riser choice as well as Chechen

[Petrichor]

Black walnut and elm two piece riser. 56" prairie predictor hoping for 45ish pound at 28 although I draw 26.  Clear Glass of course

[KyStickbow]

Mango is one of my favorite veneers! It ought to be a beauty!

[Bladepeek]

Can I assume that our anxious wait for pictures will be rewarded?

[Petrichor]

Yes

going to have to let us now how it turns out. I have been thinking about getting a shorter pred pretty much since I got my 60"er

I wonder how short you can go with a 26-27 inch draw

I talked to yesterday Mike and he seemed to think that 56 was right about perfect for my draw.  I actually just placed the order form in.  Truth is I really have been dying for a short bow, but I was not ready to go 52" short.  My other long bow is 64 inch and my recurve is 58 so I think this is a nice medium.

[Petrichor]

Aaaaaahhhhhh I just paid the invoice the wait truly begins.

[Shadowhnter]

Lol!    

I have a 58", a 62", and complete access to a 60" prairie predator. Out of them all the 62 is the best feeling bow. Not taking away from my 58" osage/black walnutbow at all though, Its quite a bow. The 62" is smoother to draw, and seems so much less poundage, when in fact they are within a pound of each other.

[Petrichor]

I was really tempted to go 62. Something in me was wanting to make it very different from my other 64. Gosh I hate decisions like these.

Can't wait.  Most of the prairie predators you see are relatively plain, with nice but not overly fancy riser woods and colored glass.  It'll be a treat seeing one really dressed up.  Definitely one of my bucket list bows.

I draw 26" and I have prairie predators down to 50".

How is the draw stroke and general feel compared to your longer predators?
